Scarborough Birders

Scarborough birders is a group of people interested in the birds of the Scarborough area, and provides a network and a voice for local birdwatchers. The group is self-administered,and is for the benefit of anyone interested in wild birds.

The group organizes an annual programme of indoor lectures, held in Scarborough, giving members, young or old, novice or experienced, the opportunity to learn more about birds, locally, nationally, or internationally, and to share experiences with fellow enthusiasts. The group collects all records of bird sightings in a defined recording area, and these are collated by group members. Records are ultimately submitted to the Yorkshire Naturalist’s Union to form part of the Yorkshire Bird Report.

Scarborough Birders participates in survey work and projects on the birds of the local area, with the aim of promoting conservation and assisting conservation bodies in their work. Membership of Scarborough Birders is open to anyone with an interest in the birds of the Scarborough area.
